Dealing for Clowe was just flushing draft picks down the toilet. It's really like they gave up three second rounders if they re-sign Clowe because Florida's third rounder is pick 61.

I never understood that transaction.
Even though I like Clowe, what does liking a player's past achievements have to do with it? Where is the clear minded judgement, the realization of what fits, and when?

I have been waiting for Sather to go away for many years, but it seems this type of thing just continues.
Too bad.

Eh. I liked the Clowe trade. We probably gave up a little too much but whatever. I think if he wasn't hurt a lot of you would be singing a different tune.

Now should we resign him is another questioon....

Well, guess what? I win because he IS hurt a lot.

And the crappy part is, how does anybody make a real call on a contract offering? A fair bit of gambling ther, and certainly not worth getting to any kind of bidding war over. Then again, maybe he does not want long term at $4 mil plus per year, as I heard he might be looking for.
Still kind of risky.

Even at a 1 year deal, as many are saying, you have to give up another 2nd rounder if you resign him at this point. **** that, let him walk. Goes down as one of the worst Sather trades in a while. Give up those prospects for what, 10 or so games?

So your comfortable giving up 2 2nd round picks and a 3rd rounder (which is essentially another 2nd at #61) in a deep draft for a guy who played 12 games here? Not to mention his injury history, likely sustaining 2 concussions. Im sorry but that is just a terrible way to manage an organization.

I don't know if it would've been. I know he put up some points, but he looked really ineffective in a lot of his games. He's another slow guy. He's another guy who's really not a finisher. And he's clearly moving away from his prime. We gave up a ton of draft picks for an aging rental in a year where we just didn't have the roster to make a cup run.
